Upstart

As he approached the door of his house, Huang Anguo saw a car parked downstairs in his unit. It was still a license plate of the municipal government. Huang Anguo was a little puzzled, he would not have let the local government know that he had come back so quietly. , the sense of smell of these people is really better than that of dogs.

Gao Ling, who was beside Huang Anguo, also saw the car parked downstairs, looked at Huang Anguo, and joked, "It seems that you can't live in peace for a day or two."

Huang Anguo shook his head with a wry smile. Before he arrived at the house, these people came to the door. They stepped on time, but they didn't know who came, and they got the news so quickly.

Walking upstairs with Gao Ling, when Huang Anguo was still at the corner between the stairs from the second floor to the third floor, he heard hearty laughter from his own house. The voice was a little strange, and it should be the car downstairs. Huang Anguo didn't even try to guess who it would be. He wasn't very familiar with the leaders of Jin'an City. He just met him at the foundation laying ceremony of the new city a few days ago. How could he remember the voice? Anyway, Take two more steps and you'll see who it is.

"Oh, brother and sister-in-law are back." Huang Zehou, who was sitting facing the door, saw Huang Anguo and Gao Ling who had already walked to the door, and stood up happily.At the same time, a strange man sitting with his back to the door also turned his head and walked towards Huang Anguo with a smile.At this moment, Huang Anguo could see clearly who was here today, and seeing that person's face, he couldn't help but feel relieved, no wonder this person knew that he came back today, it turned out to be his brother's future father-in-law, the news of his return Only his family members know, probably his younger brother told him.

"Director Huang. You're back." Gu Dazhi was already one step ahead of Huang Anguo.Walked up and spoke enthusiastically.

"Uncle Gu, you're being polite. We're going to be in-laws in the future. If you call me Director Huang again, wouldn't it be a stranger? You'll still call me Anguo in the future." Huang Anguo said kindly to Gu Dazhi.And he has a very respectful attitude, and he holds the gift of a junior. Although he has never met Gu Dazhi in private, and has no personal relationship, but now that Gu Dazhi has an extra layer of in-law status, Huang Anguo naturally looks at him differently.

After hearing Huang Anguo's words, Gu Dazhi said yes repeatedly.His eyes are almost squinted when he smiles.He had been waiting for Huang Anguo's words for a long time. Last time Huang Anguo left in a hurry, so after the foundation laying ceremony that day, he brought his daughter to visit the next day, but he didn't see Huang Anguo. It was the first time An Guo met, and he was afraid that it would be abrupt to call An Guohui kindly when he came, so he made a little pretense at this moment, and still called Director Huang.Now that Huang Anguo said this himself, he felt quite comfortable in his heart, calling him uncle in Huang Anguo's capacity, and he was very respectful, Gu Dazhi kept secretly laughing in his heart.I never thought it would be today.Now that he has climbed onto the high branch of Huang Anguo, he feels that he will laugh in his dreams these days.Although after a few days of understanding.He knew that Huang Anguo didn't have any background, which was completely in line with his previous cognition. If Huang Anguo had a background, he wouldn't have to humble himself when he went to his house to ask for marriage, but he didn't know Huang Anguo at that time. Anguo only knew that Huang Zehou was at best a good migrant worker, and that Huang Zehou's parents were out-and-out farmers. What kind of background would such a family have?In Gu Dazhi's own opinion, it is impossible for such a family to have any background.Therefore, he directly rejected this marriage without even thinking about it. Maybe he didn't feel it himself, but maybe he knew it but didn't want to admit it. In his heart, he already regarded his daughter as someone who could maximize his interests. One of the products, if Huang Anguo hadn't appeared, he would have already arranged a marriage for his daughter. The other party was the son of a deputy mayor of this city. His son was quite capable, but he was in Jin'an City. They are all famous for being playful, but Gu Dazhi doesn't care about these things. He doesn't think about what it will be like for his daughter to marry. What he considers is whether his daughter can marry.But these are all his wishful thinking. He hasn't proposed marriage to the deputy mayor yet, and the deputy mayor's family may not like him.

Huang Anguo appeared at this time, and he still appeared with such a glamorous identity, and the secretary of the municipal party committee personally proposed marriage for his younger brother, which made Gu Dazhi immediately give up his original idea. He didn't dare to offend Xie Lin, and more importantly, he didn't have to choose at all. Huang Anguo's identity was undoubtedly higher than the marriage with the deputy mayor's family he wanted to get into. He didn't even think about it. After thinking about it, he re-agreed to the marriage between his daughter and Huang Zehou. Although it was strange that the Huang family had no background, Huang Anguo was able to occupy a high position at a young age. Could it be that Huang Anguo himself had something to do with it?Or what is the reason?All these made Gu Dazhi puzzled, but these doubts did not reduce his enthusiasm for this marriage and his joy in his heart. With the extraordinary attitudes of Xie Lin, the secretary of the municipal party committee, and Xi Qiuwen, the mayor, towards Huang Anguo, he It's worth his accepting this marriage, not to mention Xie Lin's matchmaker, does this also indicate that he can also have something to do with Xie Lin?

Huang Anguo and Gu Dazhi politely walked back to the sofa in the living room and sat down, but who knew that Gu Dazhi had already thought so much in this short moment.

"By the way, Uncle Gu, I forgot to introduce you. This is my wife Gao Ling." Seeing Gu Dazhi looking at Gao Ling with an inquiring expression, Huang Anguo remembered that he had been a little rude just now, and patronized and Gu Dazhi exchanged greetings, but forgot to introduce his wife.

"Uncle Gu, hello!" Gao Ling said to Gu Dazhi very politely.

Gu Dazhi didn't know what kind of person Gao Ling was, so he returned the gift in a hurry. After all, he was Huang Anguo's wife, so he didn't dare to neglect him. Although he had a relationship with Huang Anguo now, he didn't dare to entrust too much, and Judging by Gao Ling's temperament, she is not an ordinary person. I don't know if it is because of a husband like Huang Anguo that she naturally has the dignity of an official wife, or because of her extraordinary background.

Gu Dazhi didn't pay too much attention to Gao Ling, Huang Anguo was related to him, and Huang Anguo was the one he wanted to pay attention to.No matter how many speculations about Gao Ling it has nothing to do with him.He only understood one thing, that is, there is nothing wrong with staying close to Huang Anguo.

"Little brother, why didn't your girlfriend come today? Are you following the example of the ancients, and the woman who is about to marry is embarrassed to leave the cabinet." Huang Anguo saw that his brother and girlfriend were not in the living room as soon as he came in.He couldn't help teasing his younger brother for coming. In fact, he saw Gu Dazhi coming. It stands to reason that Gu Dazhi's daughter would also come. After all, compared with his daughter, Gu Dazhi's daughter is the real master. Gu Dazhi should understand in his heart very.

"Brother, what age is it now? Do you think you're still interested in that? She's helping mom in the kitchen." Huang Zehou embraced the beautiful woman as he wished, and he has been in a very good mood recently. His attitude even made a 180-degree turn, which made him feel very comfortable, and he always smiled when he spoke.

"That's right, then I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything I can help, and take a look at what my siblings look like." Gao Ling casually put down the things she brought back and walked towards the kitchen.There was a smile on her face, she hadn't seen the girlfriend that made Huang Zehou think about it day and night last time, but now she was full of interest.

Not long after Gao Ling entered, bursts of laughter came from the kitchen, probably three women in one play.The three of them didn't know what happy things they were talking about while doing things in the kitchen.The laughter continued.Even Huang Huixiang, who was sitting in the living room with Huang Anguo and others, had a smile on his face, thinking that the two daughters-in-law were all together now.When the youngest son marries his daughter-in-law in this year, the family will really be able to have a happy family reunion. Thinking of this, Huang Huixiang laughed so hard that all the organs on his face were twisted into one piece. He had been looking forward to this family happiness for a long time. Yes, it will be more perfect to have a grandchildren hug in the future, Huang Huixiang thought beautifully in his heart.

"Dear family, why are you so happy when you think of something?" Seeing Huang Huixiang's happy appearance, Gu Dazhi knew the reason in his heart, but he still pretended to be curious and asked, how could his attitude towards Huang Huixiang be condescending at the beginning? Domineering, dismissive, looking down on others with dog eyes, now he is extremely polite to Huang Huixiang, and when he sees Huang Huixiang, he will keep yelling at his in-laws. If someone who doesn't know the situation sees that enthusiasm, I thought the two had always been on good terms.

"I'm thinking that when Zehou and your daughter get married, then my two sons will have completed their life-long events, and they will have a happy reunion during the Chinese New Year." Huang Huixiang grinned with joy. He kept going up, looked at Gu Dazhi, and seemed to think of something else, "Family, come together during the New Year's and holidays. There are so many people and it's lively."

"Of course, even if you don't call, we will come here with the cheek." Gu Dazhi had a smile on his face, thinking in his heart that not only should we get together more during the holidays, but even in normal times, I would run to you more Walking, how can you keep this relationship hot if you don't move?Relying on a family relationship alone is not enough insurance.

"An Guo, Secretary Chen and Mayor Zhang of our city want to have a banquet with you at the Huafeng Hotel in this city later. I wonder if you have time? They originally wanted to invite you at home in person, but they were afraid that the fashionista would mobilize the crowd. You will be unhappy if there are too many people talking and noisy, so I didn’t come, let me tell you.” Gu Dazhi looked at Huang Anguo with hope and even a little nervousness, he asked the question knowingly, It's self-assertion again.He said he asked knowingly, because Huang Anguo just came back today, or came back quietly, there must be nothing wrong, then Huang Anguo must have time today, but he still asked Huang Anguo's opinion in an inquiring tone.And speaking of self-assessment, it is because he informed Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong of Huang Anguo's return today, so Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong would have such a coincidence to invite Huang Anguo to Huang Anguo immediately after Huang Anguo's return, and invite Huang Anguo through Gu Dazhi , It means that Huang Anguo has no room to refuse, Huang Anguo will not even give face to his brother's father-in-law?

When Huang Anguo heard Gu Dazhi's words, there was no special reaction on his face, and he still kept his original smile, but his brother Huang Zehou who was sitting next to him could see his brother frowned slightly, just He disappeared soon. Huang Zehou grew up with Huang Anguo. Although he hasn't been together in the past few years, he still knows his brother better than others. Knowing that Huang Anguo may not be very happy right now, he couldn't help but Thinking about how to say a few words for my father-in-law later.He doesn't understand politics.But I don't know very well, and I can more or less guess that my father-in-law's behavior is to establish a good relationship with the top and second leaders of Jin'an City, otherwise he wouldn't tell others the news of Huang Anguo's return at once, and he should down this matter.

"An Guo, don't go if you don't have time later. I'll talk to Secretary Chen and Mayor Zhang. They are also reasonable people and will understand." Gu Dazhi saw that Huang Anguo didn't speak. He just smiled, unable to figure out what Huang Anguo meant, so he had no choice but to retreat and said, with a thousand and 1 hopes in his heart that Huang Anguo would not say no.In that case, it would be difficult for him to speak in front of Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong.Because he had promised to invite Huang Anguo beforehand. Originally, because of Huang Anguo, both Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong thought highly of him, and they were polite when they met. He didn't want this first time. This is not only a matter of face, but also involves many subtle issues in the officialdom. If Huang Anguo does not go today, it will be tantamount to cutting the face of Chen Zhang and Zhang Er. People don't say anything on the surface.But there will be a little lump in my heart, the two of them can't do anything to Huang Anguo and dare not do anything, but if they turn around, they might get him some shoes to wear... Although he trusts Chen and Zhang very much products, and Chen and Zhang would not care about such trivial matters.But some things are not afraid of accidents.I'm afraid of [-], let's talk.The most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart!

"Brother, Secretary Chen and Mayor Zhang are both our parents' officials in Jin'an City. They invite you as soon as they see you come back. They are so polite to you. If you don't go, you will be disrespectful to them. Our family is also in Jin'an after all. City, we can't neglect our parents and officials." Huang Zehou said in a timely manner, seeing that although Gu Dazhi said so, he also understood his thoughts, so he spoke out to help.At this time, Gu Dazhi saw that his son-in-law was so considerate, and he really wanted to go up and kiss him. He used to think that Huang Zehou was just an ordinary wage earner, and he was a bit stupid. Pleasant to the eye, Gu Dazhi thought happily while looking at Huang Anguo, waiting for Huang Anguo to speak.

Glancing at his younger brother, and then at Gu Dazhi's nonchalant, nonchalant expression, Huang Anguo smiled, knowing that Gu Dazhi seemed to be consistent with his words and deeds, he probably cared deeply, so he stopped being silent and said A reassuring sentence from Gu Dazhi, "Go, why don't you go, there's nothing to do." He was indeed a little unhappy when he heard Gu Dazhi's presumptuous assertion just now, not because he looked down on the leaders of Jin'an City or Well, it was his original plan that made him have a preconceived notion that he just wanted to stay at home with his parents for a couple of days, so when he first heard that there was a social gathering, he felt a little uncomfortable. I'm happy. As for rejecting the invitation of Jin'an City's second-in-command, he has never thought about it. He can also think of the problems that Gu Dazhi can think of. He will not do such things that lose face. At the same level, building a good relationship with these people may not be useful in the future, but it is never wrong to make more friends. No one will dislike having many friends.

Because he accepted the invitation of Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong, Huang Anguo didn't stay at home for long. He chatted with the family and Gu Dazhi, and then left for Huafeng Hotel in Jin'an City with Gu Dazhi. Yes, when I went downstairs and saw the car that Gu Dazhi drove today, I thought that Gu Dazhi came prepared today.Huang Anguo thought so in his heart, and he didn't make a sound to tease him, otherwise Gu Dazhi would probably be embarrassed.

Huafeng Hotel is one of the only two four-star hotels in Jin'an City. In Jin'an City, high-level talents are willing to spend there. Drinking a drink in such a high-end consumer place is expensive, even more Not to mention eating a meal, it is not something ordinary working-class people can afford. Unless it is a holiday, some families get together with the whole family, and they will occasionally be cruel and spend here, otherwise they usually come here Very few people come here. After all, this kind of hotel eats a sign and a face. If you really want to eat, which restaurant on the roadside is not there?

When approaching Huafeng Hotel, the car stopped and walked like a snail, because there are so many cars coming in and out of the hotel here, and the car couldn't get up here, Huang Anguo took advantage of his spare time to go out Just looking around, looking at the cars coming in and out, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that there are really a lot of rich people now, and he just looks at it for a while.I saw a few Mercedes-Benz and BMW driving in and out.Lexus and Audi, which are usually considered high-end cars for ordinary consumers, seem a bit ordinary here. The government bus driven by Gu Dazhi seems too shabby, but the license plate of this car is a status. Symbol, read the license plate.It is estimated that everyone will automatically ignore the model of this car, and the security guard at the door has also quickly walked up to clear a passage for Gu Dazhi's car.

"Director Gu, you are here. Secretary Chen and Mayor Zhang are waiting for you upstairs." A fat middle-aged man stood at the gate of the hotel. Seeing Gu Dazhi leading a strange man over, he had already went up to welcome.He is the general manager of this hotel.When he saw the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor coming over today, he immediately came over to entertain the guests in person. When he found out that he was here to entertain the guests, he volunteered to come down to greet them.

"Manager Zhang, please be polite, why bother you to wait here yourself." Although Gu Dazhi said so, there was no expression of shame on his face. Most officials want to feel that they are in front of businessmen. He is superior to others, not to mention that the manager in front of him is also a part-time job after all.It's just that the level of their part-time job is high.

"An Guo, Secretary Chen and Mayor Zhang are having a private banquet today, so it's inconvenient to show up at the entrance of the hotel. Don't take it to heart." After Gu Dazhi and the hotel manager dealt with it, they turned their heads towards Huang Anguo explained.I'm afraid that Huang Anhui will have something to think because Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong didn't come to greet him at the door.After all, Huang Anguo was at the same level as Chen Kang, and one level higher than Zhang Nianhong.They came from the ministry again, so they are fully qualified to have Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong greet them at the door in person.

Gu Dazhi was just dutifully explaining to Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong, but it surprised the hotel manager leading the way. He did not expect that such a young man was invited by the secretary and mayor of the city at the same time. He laid the foundation stone for the new city last time He didn't join in the fun at the ceremony, so he didn't know Huang Anguo's identity. He just saw Gu Dazhi bringing such a young man with him. He wasn't sure that this was the person Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong wanted to entertain. Now, Gu Dazhi explained to Huang Anguo Let him know that the person in front of him is today's protagonist, and the surprise in his heart can be imagined.

"Uncle Gu, I feel very honored that Secretary Chen and Mayor Zhang are able to entertain me today. Why would I care about these things?" Huang Anguo laughed. Waiting for him here, the gate of the hotel is not lively yet, he doesn't want others to point and point, like the monkeys in the zoo.

Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong were waiting for Huang Anguo in the box specially prepared for VIPs on the third floor. Since it was reserved for VIPs, there seemed to be relatively few people here, and it was extremely quiet. When Huang Anguo and the others walked over, Both Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong could hear clear footsteps. They looked at each other, guessing that Huang Anguo should also arrive, got up and went to the door to meet them, just as Huang Anguo and others were walking towards them.The two took a few steps forward, and Chen Kang smiled enthusiastically, "Director Huang, it's a great honor for Mayor Zhang and I to invite you today."

"Secretary Chen, Mayor Zhang, you are too polite. In Jin'an, I am an ordinary citizen of Jin'an. It is a great honor for me to receive your banquet!"

"Director Huang just arrived home today, and we invited him here. As long as Director Huang doesn't blame us for disturbing your rest, we will be Amitabha." Zhang Nianhong joked when he saw that Huang Anguo was so easy-going. road.Huang Anguo got into the horns of his words in his heart, thinking that if you are afraid of disturbing my rest, why don't you let me rest, as soon as I came back, you set up a banquet and waited for me to come.

After exchanging greetings at the door for a while, the hotel manager who led the way left with interest, and Huang Anguo, Chen Kang, and Zhang Nianhong walked into the box while giving way to each other.In addition to Gu Dazhi, there are only four people today, and it is a private banquet, not a public occasion, so the allocation of seats seems to be more casual, and there is nothing special about it. On Anguo's side, Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong sat facing them.

"Director Huang, Secretary Chen and I would like to congratulate you and Director Gu on becoming in-laws first." They had just finished sitting, Zhang Nianhong congratulated Huang Anguo and Gu Dazhi with a congratulatory gesture, and Chen Kang also congratulated him. He looked at Huang Anguo and Gu Dazhi with a smile on his face.

Huang Anguo responded politely, but he didn't have much feeling for the two people's congratulations, but Gu Dazhi next to him was obviously different.Congratulations to this second-in-command seemed a little smug.Perhaps, as a subordinate, he feels particularly strongly about the warm congratulations from the leader. At this moment, he may be thinking more about whether his status in Jin'an City can be improved by this.

"Director Huang. In the future, there will be more suggestions and suggestions for the development of Jin'an City. Secretary Chen and I are looking forward to it."

"Mayor Zhang, the current development of Jin'an has been very good under your leadership. If I have any suggestions, it is just icing on the cake. I will not do this kind of grandstanding. I believe that Secretary Chen and you will be able to In order to bring Jin An to a new level, if there is any useful suggestion, I will give it. But I believe I can think of it. Secretary Chen and you have already thought of it." Huang Anguo said quietly He flattered the two of them, everyone loves to hear good things, saying a few more good things will not affect him, so why not do it if he can make more friends.

"By the way, Director Huang, there has been one thing that bothered me and Mayor Zhang recently. We would like to hear your suggestion." Chen Kang, who was always smiling, said at this time.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Huang Anguo glanced at Gu Dazhi and asked calmly.Just now I asked him to make suggestions, now I really need to listen to his suggestions, this seems to be prepared, the reason why Huang Anguo took a look at Gu Dazhi was to see if Gu Dazhi knew something .But seeing Gu Dazhi's face was also a little curious.With a puzzled expression, Huang Anguo guessed that maybe Gu Dazhi didn't know anything.

"Director Huang. Recently, the deputy mayor of Jin'an City, Di Zhou, is about to retire. There are several candidates for the new deputy mayor, and all of them are equally capable people. Secretary Chen and I don't know. I've been bothering about this for a while." Zhang Nianhong followed Chen Kang's words.

"Secretary Chen, Mayor Zhang, you don't know who to choose, so I don't know. As soon as I know the cadres of Jin'an City, I don't know who the candidates you mentioned are. Why should I raise my opinion? Isn’t this sincerely embarrassing me?” Huang Anguo smiled wryly, his acting skill is no worse than the two of them, he was dealing with them like this in his mouth, but he was guessing in his heart about Chen Zhang The two of them asked him such a question, probably for some other purpose, because he had already seen the faintly excited expression on Gu Dazhi's face, and if he guessed correctly, Gu Dazhi was probably one of the candidates.

"Director Huang, we can talk about the characters, advantages and disadvantages of these candidates, and you can help us analyze and analyze. Maybe an outsider like you, Director Huang, can see clearly." Chen Kang didn't think so. Said intentionally.

After Chen Kang finished speaking, Zhang Nianhong didn't wait for Huang Anguo to say anything, and immediately followed Chen Kang's words, telling out the candidates in their mouths, and just like what Chen Kang said, he listed the advantages and disadvantages of several people. After saying it, it seemed like Huang Anguo had a choice.

Huang Anguo listened quietly, with a serious expression on his face, which did not surprise him. Gu Dazhi was one of the candidates. Zhang Nianhong also intentionally emphasized the advantages of Gu Dazhi, which seems to mean Very obvious.

"How about it, Director Huang, help us analyze and analyze, who do you think is more competent?" Zhang Nianhong looked at Huang Anguo and smiled after finishing speaking. Both he and Chen Kang had smiles in their eyes. Having said this, the goal has already been achieved. No matter what suggestion Huang Anguo puts forward, it is very important to them, because they already have calculations in their hearts. Please invite Huang Anguo to come over and speak out such a question in front of Huang Anguo. It is suspected that they want Huang Anguo to feel that they owe them a favor, or to sell Huang Anguo's face. After all, seeing the relationship between Huang Anguo and Xie Lin, they also hope to have a good relationship with Huang Anguo.

Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong had smiles on their faces, while Gu Dazhi had an excited expression on his face, but he forcibly suppressed it. Today he also saw that Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong's surprise attack was to sell Huang Anguo lost face. Since both of them said this kind of problem in front of Huang Anguo, it was undoubtedly another obvious signal. With the marriage and seeing the relationship between Huang Anguo and Xie Lin, he already had a good idea of ​​whether he could be the deputy mayor, but at this moment, he was very excited to hear such obvious hints from Chen Kang and Zhang Nianhong.

"Mayor Zhang, from what you've said, I don't have a choice. Besides, Uncle Gu is now with my in-laws, so I can't make any choices. So this decision is still for you. I really can't comment." Huang Anguo smiled, looking at the expressions of Chen and Zhang, how could he not know what they were thinking.

"That's true." Zhang Nianhong nodded in agreement, "Secretary Chen, Director Huang can't make any suggestions. It seems that we still made a fair choice according to our original plan."

"Well, not bad." Chen Kang nodded with a smile.

Several people looked at each other, and there was an indifferent smile floating in the room. What Zhang Nianhong said about making a fair choice according to the original plan already had the answer. Emphasis was placed on Gu Dazhi.
